Hlid Fisherman's Village is celebrated for its superb location on a picturesque peninsula, offering breathtaking sea views and a serene, nature-surrounded ambiance. Nestled conveniently close to Reykjavik and the airport, it provides both accessibility and a sense of seclusion. Guests appreciate the stunning sunsets, Northern Lights views and the quaint, village-like setting enhanced by horses and chickens on the property.
The accommodations are a blend of intimacy and modern comfort with rooms that are clean, cozy and spacious, often exceeding expectations. Guests enjoy the thoughtful furnishings, comfortable beds, well-appointed bathrooms and rustic yet modern decor. The meticulous cleanliness and daily maintenance contribute positively to the stay, despite occasional minor issues like mold in bathrooms or inadequate lighting.
While there is high praise for the charming and peaceful environment, the absence of an on-site breakfast remains a consistent drawback. Guests often had to travel to the Viking Hotel for breakfast, which, though positively reviewed, was inconvenient. Similarly, the lack of an open on-site restaurant and limited nearby dining options make meal planning essential, though the associated Viking Village's restaurant, known for its Viking-themed cuisine, receives acclaim.
The staff's friendliness and helpfulness enhance the experience with many guests appreciating their charm and attentiveness. However, a lack of consistent on-site presence and occasional communication issues were noted. Still, the presence of private parking and clear self-service check-in processes contribute to a smooth and convenient stay.
Amenities like the rooftop hot tub and sauna are particularly enjoyed, adding a luxury touch to the tranquil setting. The well-maintained grounds and modern furnishings, along with the property's luxury fixtures and unique historical charm, provide a picturesque and luxurious retreat. Despite some intermittent Wi-Fi issues, the overall aesthetic and functionality of the accommodations make Hlid Fisherman’s Village a highly recommended destination for those seeking both tranquility and convenience in Iceland.
